Don't Buy this Faucet!!I loved this faucet 5 years ago and paid $299 for two (hello $600) for our kitchen which has 2 sinks. The things are a total mess. My plumber said NEVER buy Kohler, they are terrible and he is always replacing them. Unless you are looking to spend another $300 in five years go with another brand. Now I'm shopping again... drat!

A bit disappointingI bought this because I liked the style, but I am not that happy with the faucet. Cons:
Sprayer switch is fiddly. It is a soft plastic that immediately showed fingernail marks, and none of us have long fingernails.
Hard to clean. Lots of grooves and rings that are hard to clean around.
VERY low flow. I don't hand-wash or rinse many dishes, so my main use of the faucet is to (gasp) get water out of it. It takes FOREVER to fill a pot or pitcher with this thing.
Pros:
The finish (stainless steel) seems very durable, and it isn't too hard to clean the screen at the base of the sprayer (we get a lot of granite grit from our well, so cleaning is a regular chore).

Big problemThe mounting screw ring (PN 1115287) and washer (PN 1128531) have been modified by Kohler for unknown reason. The ring and washer will not fit through the holes in Kohler sinks so if you are planning an undermount you will have to call Kohler customer support to get the proper screw ring (PN 78539) and washer (PN ?). It is not an easy task. They don't believe you at first, you have to ask for technical support. I have made five calls, gotten one wrong washer, and it has been 3 weeks and I still don't have the proper size washer.

Big disapointmentOn the plus side, I liked the design and the installation was easy
but the plastic top of the faucet popped up less than a week after installation- witht no reason except the temperature of the water dilatating the metal - braking a piece of it on the way - so now I have a brand new faucet with a broken top... :-(

GreatFirst purchase from FaucetDirect.com, and it was smooth. Saved about 25% from local stores, and shipping was very quick.
Couldn't be more pleased with this faucet! Very solid construction and perfect finish to kitchen remodel. Went with the one hole installation on new granite with hammered copper sink. Looks great and you can't go wrong with Kohler quality. Installation took me about 15 minutes....very easy. Pullout sprayer is great. Some have a really cheap feel to the sprayer...not this one. If you are on the fence between this and other brands....buy this one.

Poor Choice For A FaucetAs with others it seems my faucet lost its' plastic button almost immediately. Also judging by the problems that we have experienced with the faucet, I can see why it only comes with a one year warranty. Overall I think that for what I got, I paid way too much!

Great, but the supply hoses are too shortI purchases my second polished chrome faucet for a remodel in the new (1906) house. The only problem is the hoses are too short -if you have shut off valves that are too far apart, or too low, or you have a higher than the standard 36 inch or an extra thick countertop with drop in sink.I used 2 standard faucet H.D. flex hoses and 2 Compression male adapters 3/8 inch O.D X 1/2 inch M.I.P by Do it from the local hardware store to lengthen the hoses that are built into the faucet.(Same solution I used last time).

Great style and quality!I bought this polished chrome 13 year ago. I have had to have the sprayer part replaced by Kohler as well as the main part of the faucet. However, I give this a great review 1) because I like the faucet; 2) because Kohler replaces with a life time warranty.
